Okay, I've got all of this fixed. I do not get any errors now, but 3D does not work (as in quake3, tribes2, etc). The modules for "agpgart" and "radeon" do not start up automatically, either, like they should. What else do I need to do to get 3D setup working? Thanks again.

They work for me. You may have to AGPMode down to 2.
